To all whom fit may concern."

Be it known that I, CLAES W. BDMAN, re-

siding in the city of New York, in the countyV and State of New York,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fountainelens, of whichthe following is a specification.

My improvement is designed to furnish an inexpensive and at the sametime eiicient fountain pen of attractivee'terior. It Will first bedescribed in connec ion with the accompanying drawing, and'will then bemore particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing-ll`igure 1 is a longitudinal axial section of thecomplete fountain pen and its cap. Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 are perspectiveviews of the four parts which go to make up the complete device,detached from one another.

A is the tip which holds the feed plug and the pen. `It has a screwthreaded stem a to screw into the ink reservoir; and on it just forwardof a is an annular bead or ange a. The tip is made of hardrubber-preferably of russet color-and is polished and finished.

B is the ink reservoir. It is made of ordinary hard rubber composition,with uniinished exterior; and its mouth into which the screw threadedstem a, of the tip is inserted is internally screw threaded to engagethe stem. The tip is screwed down into the reservoir until its flange orbead a bears tight upon the end of the reservoir. The exterior4 of thereservoir near the mouth graduall and very slightly enlarges in diameteras at to alord a taper surface upon which the front end of the externalcase or handle C may lit tight.

AThe case `C is of a size to receive the reservoir B, which fits snuglytherein, the front end of the case, when the parts are in place, meetingand bringing up against the bead al on the tip. The case is cylindricalin shape, l

and is made of sheet metal with a smooth japanned exterior, finished tomatch the finish of the tip A, of Which in the complete pen itapparently forms a continuation. D is the cap. It also is made of sheetmetal of the same exterior nish as the case C. It has an internalannular bead d, which limits the extent to which it may pass down .overthe tip, or the other end of the pen, as the case may be. When fittedover the` ti its bead d brings up a ains't the bead a o the tip, asshown in fu lines in Fi l. When tted u on the opposite end o the en itsbead d rings u against the end of t e case C, as indicatedl y dottedlines in Fig. 1.

A pen of this construction is inexpensive to make; at the same time itis thoroughly practical and durable and presentsan exterior which islike that of the most highly finished ens of this class.

What claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent s- The fountain penherein described com.-` A with screw prising the hard rubber ti threadedstem a and annu ar bead a; the cylindrical hard rubber ink reservoir Bhav-Y ing exterior taper enlargement b at its frontY end, and internallyscrew threaded to receive the stem a of the tip; and the cylindricalsheet metal case or handle c, receiving the ink reservoir and fittingsnugly upon the enlarged portion of the same, with its front end againstthe beada on the tip, as hereinbefore shown and specified.

In testimony whereof l alix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
